Goal 

You can name aspects that make a school sustainable.

You can connect these aspects to examples in our school. 

This slide should be used to state the learning objective of the lesson.

Is climate change changing our school?

The climate is changing, we notice this everywhere in the world. The biggest problem and therefore the most important cause is the increase in global temperatures. To fight this increase, climate goals  and agreements have been made globally. CO2 emissions in particular must be drastically reduced and the goal is to be completely climate neutral by 2050. 

But how do we do that?

Half of CO2 emissions are caused by 470 large companies. But smaller companies and households also emit CO2. We can take steps with our houses, but it takes more than that!

Eco-school

Large companies and the government need to change the most, but as a school we can also take a critical look at our CO2 emissions. We are an eco-school, but what do we actually do in order to be more sustainable? 

And can it be even better?
